Of course they'll be good, even if every spammer on the planet reads this and immediately stops using them. There's probably hundreds of good rules to be made from the bad html in spam, they just need figuring out and writing. Just because spammers switch technique to avoid a rule doesn't mean that rule isn't good anymore, think of it as something else we've stopped them doing, or at very least we've used up some of their time and reduced their profit. -- Yorkshire Dave -- Scanned by MailScanner at wot.no-ip.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com.
